The 3rd Alternative: Solving Life's Most Difficult Problems

A legacy work from the multimillion copy best-selling author of
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - hailed as the #1 Most Influential Business Book of the Twentieth Century -
The 3rd Alternative introduces a breakthrough approach to conflict resolution and creative problem solving.

Stephen R. Covey's book,
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

The Speed of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything

First Things First is a revolutionary guide to managing your time by learning how to balance your life. Traditional time management suggests that working harder, smarter, and faster will help you gain control over your life, and that increased control will bring peace and fulfillment. But the authors of
First Things First apply the insights of
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to our daily problems of struggling with the ever-increasing demands of work and home life.

"A mini Covey seminar!"

This brief seminar serves as a wonderful introduction to The 8th Habit, including audio of 2 of the 16 films from the book's companion DVD as presented in the seminar.

Give it a listen, and if you like what you hear, get the book to get the rest of the story.

If you have never attended a Covey seminar, this will give you a glimpse of what they are like. If you have attended a Covey seminar on The 7 Habits, this is a must listen, and an excellent addition to your toolset to move from effectiveness to greatness.
